Brazil is a country with great biodiversity; however, knowledge of this microbiological wealth is currently insufficient for its utilization in a sustainable manner. Agricultural expansion represents one of the largest current dangers to biodiversity and threatens to cause the extinction of a variety of species. This study therefore aimed to isolate and identify the species of fungi present in coffee beans cultivated in organic and conventional systems. Eighteen (18) samples of coffee beans from southern Minas Gerais were analyzed, and 346 fungal isolates were obtained from the analyzed coffee beans. These isolates belonged to 32 species in the following 14 genera: Aspergillus,
